Atlantic Standings Predictions Thread

Context my friend, context. Suzuki won't shoot at that % for sure, but he will have more opportunities to shoot, given that the team now has a 2nd line that the other teams will have to worry about. He might not get as many goals but its safe to say he will get at the very least as many points as last year. He had a very slow start last year and only started producing in january. And then he was on something like a 1.2 ppg pace til the end of the season.

What you just described was his shooting %.

If you look, his primary assist generation actually got significantly WORSE towards the end of the year. As did his overall shot generation, and shot attempt generation (this decline was mostly on the PP, with a slight uptick in EV chance generation).

There's really nothing suggesting his play in the second half was better, besides him getting on a shooting heater of 22.5%

Suzuki seems to be a very streaky shooter. I remember he started off the first quarter of 22-23 shooting red hot at 27.5% as well, and we had these same conversations about him "breaking out". And then his shooting% came back down to earth (11%) the rest of the year and he managed just 0.67 points per game.

Anybody here looking for Nick Suzuki's agent - I think we've found him.

Suzuki is honestly a boring player to watch. ish ? But we've had free agents players like Tofolli say they've signed in Montreal just to play with him. OHL players watching his game. Suzuki says he likes Bergeron.

Why do you think his shooting % got up? Ill tell you. His teamates became a scoring threat, which gave him nice openings. How many points do you think Suzuki will have next year? Im guessing 75-80. Hearing you, he won't scratch 60 right?
